Be a Tree Cremation is a Denver-area, women-owned cremation provider founded in 2021 that offers eco-friendly water cremation (alkaline hydrolysis) as a gentle, sustainable alternative to traditional fire cremation. The company offers environmentally-friendly water cremation in Denver, with final resting places rooted in nature and transparent pricing delivered by compassionate staff. Be a Tree Cremation Founder Emily Nelson created the business to honor both her personal experiences with loss and a deep commitment to lessening environmental impact at end of life. As a member of the Colorado LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, Be a Tree actively serves the LGBTQ+ community and recently noted that Colorado law now allows non-binary gender designations on death certificates — a meaningful step for inclusive end-of-life services.
